This book was released on 2010-12-13 with total page 34 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: El enfoque predominante de lo social centrado en la focalización, los subsidios a la demanda, la descentralización y la privatización que han dominado el escenario regional en las últimas décadas han conducido a incrementar la vulnerabilidad social y la pobreza –y con ellas el deterioro en las condiciones de salud y acceso a servicios de la población–, y han puesto de nuevo en la agenda la forma como los estados deben brindar protección social a su población. Los tiempos presentes marcan una mayor diversidad de decisiones sobre lo social, muchas de las cuales han tomado notorias distancias con respecto a las políticas hegemónicas que fueron instaladas en la mayor parte de los países en las décadas anteriores. Esta publicación acoge ese debate y hace una contribución a la crítica y prospectiva sobre las orientaciones que subyacen a las reformas sectoriales y políticas de protección social en salud de los últimos tiempos Se apoya en desarrollos conceptuales alternativos sobre la cuestión social y los que surgen del análisis de distintas experiencias nacionales.

Download or read book Protecci n social en Am rica Latina written by Ana Sojo and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: En América Latina los sistemas de protección social adolecen de profundas segmentaciones y desigualdades y varios de ellos enfrentan graves crisis de legitimidad como consecuencias de promesas incumplidas. Para emprender reformas que permitan encarar la complejidad de los sistemas existentes, fortalecer su ethos redistributivo y solidario y mejorar la calidad de los servicios es indispensable forjar amplias coaliciones políticas. En este libro se tratan los avances y desafíos de los sistemas de pensiones y salud y se razona acerca de la necesidad de que el cuidado sea un nuevo pilar de la protección social dada su gama de objetivos cruciales. Se indaga en sistemas de protección social fragmentados y poco equitativos y a partir de ello se abordan e hilvanan de manera recursiva a los diversos enfoques sobre la protección social y sus efectos; además se fundamentan los principios de universalidad y solidaridad y se hace un contrapunto con el aseguramiento de mercado. Asimismo, se estudian las coberturas para reconstruir un mosaico de las desigualdades asociadas con el mercado laboral y con la morfología de los sistemas. Se examina el efecto negativo que el aseguramiento guiado por el lucro en materia de salud y pensiones ha tenido en la desigualdad y el bienestar social. Por último, se analiza la judicialización del derecho a la salud y al respeto, se pone en manifiesto la existencia de una vasta zona de claroscuros.

Download or read book Achieving Effective Social Protection for All in Latin America and the Caribbean written by Helena Ribe and published by World Bank Publications. This book was released on 2010-06-22 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study highlights the interaction between social protection programs and labor markets in the Latin America region. It presents new evidence on the limited coverage of existing programs and emphasizes the challenges caused by high informality for achieving universal social protection for old age income, for health, for unemployment risks and for anti poverty safety nets. It identifies interaction effects between SP programs and the behavioral responses of workers, firms and social protection providers, which can further undermine efforts to expand coverage, summarizing evidence from recent work across the region. It argues for a re-design of financing to eliminate cross subsidies between members of contributory programs and subsidies that effectively tax income from formal employment. Instead, it advocates well-targeted, tax-funded tapered subsidies to provide incentives to the savings efforts of low income workers, coupled with an effective safety net for the extreme poor who have no capacity to contribute to financing their own social protection arrangements. It also argues for the consolidation of programs and harmonization of benefits packages across different insurers. The book develops an overall conceptual framework and presents in-depth analysis of the main SP sectors of pensions, health, unemployment insurance and safety net transfers.

Download or read book Statistical Yearbook for Latin America and the Caribbean written by United Nations Publications and published by UN. This book was released on 2016-05-15 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Statistical Yearbook for Latin America and the Caribbean of ECLAC presents a set of basic statistics on the economic, sociodemographic and environmental situation of the region during a specific time period. This edition of the Yearbook includes information available up to mid-December 2014, and it comprises four chapters. The first covers demographic and social indicators and continues to reflect special efforts to mainstream the gender perspective in statistical information and to encompass poverty-related topics. The second chapter presents economic statistics relating to trade, balance of payments and domestic prices, as well as national accounts. The statistical series are expressed in constant dollars. The third chapter provides quantitative information available on the environment. Given the abundance of data 'often diverse and sometimes conflicting' now accessible to researchers, special attention must be paid to technical aspects specifying the source of the data, their definition and coverage. This information is presented in the fourth chapter, which deals with methodology and metadata, supplementing the more specific information contained in the footnotes to each of the tables in this Yearbook.

Download or read book Research Anthology on Food Waste Reduction and Alternative Diets for Food and Nutrition Security written by Management Association, Information Resources and published by IGI Global. This book was released on 2020-09-17 with total page 1318 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The world population is expected to increase exponentially within the next decade, which means that the food demand will increase and so will waste production. The increasing demand for food as well as changes in consumption habits have led to the greater availability and variety of food with a longer shelf life. However, there is a need for effective food waste management and food preservation as wasted food leads to overutilization of water and fossil fuels and increasing greenhouse gas emissions from the degradation of food. The Research Anthology on Food Waste Reduction and Alternative Diets for Food and Nutrition Security explores methods for reducing waste and cutting food loss in order to help the environment and support local communities as well as solve issues including that of land space. It also provides vital research on the development of plant-based foods, meat-alternative diets, and nutritional outcomes. Highlighting a range of topics such as agricultural production, food supply chains, and sustainable diets, this publication is an ideal reference source for policymakers, sustainable developers, politicians, ecologists, environmentalists, corporate executives, farmers, and academicians seeking current research on food and nutrition security.
